Endersession ideas

Idea 1 - STSI
I recently did an internship there over the summer. I made some connections and its a very interesting place to go if you're interested in biomedical research.

Idea 2 - Scripps Green Hospital
During my summer intership I also got connections to physicians who might take interns. Its interesting to see the inside and get a feel for what its like to have a medical profession.

Idea 3 - San Diego Zoo
Its where I did my last internship and the people there were very nice. I worked in the horticultural department but people from other departments were open to taking interns when I mentioned and explained intersession.
